fleetwood mac should be selling out venues.
Says who? They disappeared for five years. The tickets are expensive, and there's a huge amount of competition for entertainment $ now.


Quote:
to me there's less than meets the eye in this tour.
Meaning . . . exactly what?


Quote:
the cd is falling off the charts
It is? Still there the last I looked. In Vancouver it's still the #15 selling CD, ahead of Celine Dion (a Canada favorite), Shania Twain (ditto), Christina Aguilera, Diana Krall and others. I see Madonna slipped, too. Guess her career's shot.

Quote:
the tour features too few new songs to change that.
Last I heard the setlist features at least six new songs. That's pretty gutsy considering their songbook and the number of people who show up to hear their favorites.


Quote:
without christine this tour will never be seen on the same footing as the dance.
Is it supposed to be? That was The Dance Tour, this is the Say You Will tour. That was then. This is now.

Quote:
there was a lot more publicity for the dance. it was the thing of 98
It was? I don't remember that. As I recall, there were A LOT more accusations back then of "another 70s super group going around one more time for the money" because they didn't play any new material, other than Silver Springs--which wasn't actually new.


From what I can tell, they're selling plenty of tickets, the band's having fun, the fans are having fun, Say You Will is still one of the top-selling CDs in North America, the CD has received mostly positive reviews, they're probably making more money in one hour than you or I will make in a year.

Yeah, it's all turned to ****. Boo f***ing hoo.
